Meta 4Q25 Review: Why The Stock Can Go Up With Higher Opex And Capex $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   's Q4 report delivered a clean message: the top line re-accelerated on both ad volume and pricing, while management simultaneously raised the 2026 investment envelope—yet paired it with a stronger growth outlook and an explicit statement that 2026 operating income should exceed 2025, easing fears of an ROI collapse. Financial Snapshot Revenue: $59.893B (+24% YoY). Total costs & expenses: $35.148B (+40% YoY) , the cost curve is steep, reflecting AI talent + R&D + infrastructure load. Operating income: $24.745B, 41% operating margin. Net income: $22.768B, (+38% YoY)  Three Things to Watch 1. The "w

ASML's Bookings Explosion: A Wake-Up Call for the Entire Semi Equipment Sector Global lithography leader $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$   has released its latest Q4 earnings, sending the stock soaring in pre-market trading. Let's look under the hood to see the true quality of this report.

FOMC Preview: Powell Holds the Line, Trump Sets the Future The January FOMC conference is due to be held on the Wednesday, 28th of January 2:30pm Eastern Time, but the "no cut" decision is already priced in. While $S&P 500(.SPX)$   holds firm and $XAG/USD(XAGUSD.FOREX)$   breaks out, high-beta names like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   are trading on earnings, not macro. The real story is President Trump's Davos hint of an imminent, "ve

After AI Storage's Rerating, TXN Puts Analog and Power Next in Line $Texas Instruments(TXN)$   is not a GPU story. It sells the "keep-the-lights-on" silicon: power management and signal conversion that sits everywhere from factory gear to car platforms and, increasingly, AI data centers. This quarter, that boring profile suddenly looked like a rerating setup, in the same way AI storage turned "commodity bits" into an infrastructure trade. Why TXN jumped after earnings The backward-looking quarter was close to in line, but the forward setup improved in ways that matter for multiples. 1) Guidance beat with real dollars attached. For Q1, $Texas Instruments (TXN.US)$ guided revenue of $4.32B to $4.68B versus the

Silver's 6.5% Slump Boosts Put Options' Appeal as Insurance $Silver - main 2603(SImain)$  's 6.5% slide is bolstering the appeal of put options as an insurance against a potential continued slump, days after money managers cut their bullish wagers on the precious metal.  Put options open interest, or the tally of outstanding put options, more than doubled to 121,350 contracts in just over a month. The surge came as silver futures climbed 53% over that period, strengthening the case for owning put options that allow their holders to sell the metal at a preset strike price. That could help put option holders lock in gains from the recent silver rally in case of a sustained downturn.  The precious metal th

To choose between chasing memory stock or gold, I will choose the memory stock as it has better improvement for me, but these two kinds of stock prices are going to the peak and risky. I prefer to wait for a pullback or eyes on material companies.

UnitedHealth Sinks 19%, Benefitting Short Sellers; USAR, CRWV See Higher Volume $UnitedHealth(UNH)$   shares tumbled more than 19% in early trading Tuesday, benefiting short sellers, as the insurer's lower-than-expected fourth quarter revenue added to worries over the impact of almost zero increase on insurance rates for older patients.

That could crimp profit for the health insurers which have already been saddled by rising medical costs for senior patien
